Vida Caribe Restaurant

Came here on a quick lunch break during work. This is one of the only authentic Puerto Rican Restaurants in Clermont area. Definitely something much needed ! Service - walked in and immediately greeted. Asked if I wanted to do dine in or take out. Since it wasn't busy I opted for dine in. My server spoke a little English but was super friendly. She took care of me and and even brought a take out container noticing I didn't finish my food. Food- ordered the pernil lunch special and morir sonado to drink. Food was very delicious and reminded of the same food I would get on the island :) my only complaint was that my food was not super hot when it came out but it did coke out quickly after ordering. Food is priced well. Ambiance - small and cozy very welcoming. Not a ton of inside seating but could accommodate several families. 9/10 I definitely would return and make myself a regular here.

The ribs were the juicy, soft, fall-off-the-bone kind. Advice: add a couple drops of lime juice, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Seemed like only 2-3 tbsp of macaroni salad, but it's a hearty, filling meal. You don't really need a lot, it's a dream team. Jugó de Maracuyá - I have a personal preference for this juice made with milk. That's not possible, they don't have it that way. I wasn't really upset about that, the juice is still a bullseye hit. Flan de Vainilla - Not the first time I have it, will not be the last. I forgot how it's literal perfection - not an overdose of sweet, VERY nice texture.A large side order of Tostones was ordered for the 3 of us, it could be good for up to 4 people (2/person - I didn't even take a pic before it began to be eaten)

This family owned restaurant has been opened for more than two months. It has great reviews on Google but I don't know how our fallow Yelpers missed it. The service here was like at home. The food here tasted incredible. All of them were freshly prepared and seasoned. They have Mofongos from both Dominican and Puerto Rican. My party ordered the Chicharron y Pollo Mofongo from the Dominican side and Carne Frita Mofongo from the Puerto Rican side. The Dominican Mofongo was like a treasure chest that had fried pork rinds and shredded chicken hidden inside and melted cheese on top. The Puerto Rican Mofongo we ordered came with the fried pork chunks which tasted so good with the Mayo ketchup. But my number one today definitely was the cheese flan. It was perfectly sweetened with a texture between the cheese cake and caramel flan. I certainly will be back to try some of their other dishes.

It took a while to get the food, but it was WORTH THE WAIT. Food was delicious and the service was friendly. #SupportFamilyBusiness

All I need to say, is you will NOT be disappointed. My husband and I stumbled on this place on a whim. Our daughter was having an evening softball tournament not too far down the road and honestly we're tired of eating overpriced, basic flavored concession stand food. There are plenty of chain restaurants available, but I find the local restaurants get our support more, because they put their heart and souls into the food they cook. Let me tell you babyyy, my ancestors would be proud. We ordered Chicharon de Pollo (fried chicken chunks) and carne frita (fried pork), tostones, white rice and beans. That white rice tasted exactly like Abuelas and I have yet to perfect my rice, so this was a nice piece of home. So many places I've gone to, and the carne was fried too much, or it was dry. Not here though. La Comida was full of flavor and reheat nicely the next day. To those who come and eat here or take out, buen provecho!

This place is phenomenal!!! First the food is probably the best food I've had in Clermont. The flavor is amazing. Then the staff is next level. The owner is one of the nicest people I've ever met. His staff is the same. There aren't many Spanish places in Clermont but this to me is the best

This is a great place to try different Latin dishes. My son and I have come for lunch several times. Today, we had sancocho, empanadas and tostones. Everything was delicious! The service is great as they take care of you right away. The ambiance is nice and the owner very friendly! He always comes to your table to see how everything is. I recommend this place !!!
